Java Comments

Comments in Java

There are three types of comment supported in Java.

1. Single-line,
2. Multiline and
3. Documentation comment.

Single-line comment

Java single line comment starts from // and ends till the end of that line.

  // This is a single line comment.
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
  }//w  w  w .  j av a  2  s  .c  o  m

     a
     Multiline 
     comment.
